Diagram 1 - Purpose

Purpose

• Kick back differs from the kick-up based on angle of attack
• Ball side wing finds a window for a pass option for the driver
• Off guard fills behind at least 6-8 feet away from the initial attacker
• Do NOT do a negative kick-back, defined as a kick-back on the same side as the help defender, making the closeout shorter To be effective, kick-backs should force the defender to go through the passer to
• closeout on the ball Players who cut through the lane should fill an open area (e. g. the left corner)
• 1 attacks the basket
• 4 heads downhill towards the ball and receives a pass from 1

(Diagram 1)

• 1 should make a “positive pass” by waiting to pass the ball until 4 moves behind 1
